Die Chinesen sehen scheinbar nur mehr Boll und Chuang als "wirklich gefährliche" Gegner an.
Samsonov, Saive, Primorac und Waldner seien "auf dem absteigenden Ast".
Zitat: The emergence of Boll and Chuan is a major challenge to our men’s team. I would say that they are at the same level as us, and we cannot say with any certainty that we can beat them at the present time.
I feel that these two players are a bigger threat to us than Waldner was in the past. Waldner has a great specialty: his serves. Chuan and Boll are stronger overall, with advanced styles and well-integrated tactics. To beat them, we have to have superior tactics as well as a strong will.
